    To be honest I haven't read up on all the accounts that were compromised. However, even if their token authentication is "crackable" (though it most likely has some sort of dumb recovery logic and the algorithm itself is not being cracked) they still need a username or email address at least. You have to have something to start with....

    Microsoft and Sony would disagree based on how their networks were compromised. Just because those are the typical reasons careless gamers lose their account privileges doesn't mean the easy answer is relevant. It just means that once compromises were confirmed that's the 1st consideration, but that was about 2 weeks ago and they have 1000s of confirmed account compromised tickets @ SE Support-NA alone

    One problem is the users that register their tickets in the Account sector of SE support and the users that register their tickets in the FFXIV sector are divided between 2 different ticket logs. Even though its just one problem.
